@larry The thing that stuck out to me most about your theory is Noah as the devil/”collective shadow.” Events from the past few days have led to me think that Noah is operating or at least starting to step outside the influence of those in charge, be it Darren and Clint or the OSDM. It would be fitting for him to be a shadow of sorts, then, who is…[Read more]

@clairebuch No worries! You’ll pick it up as we go, or you could ask any of the Tension alum about whatever you want more details on. I also missed a lot of the action early on, so I’m in a similar boat.

@clairebuch I think Darren (and by extension, Clint and perhaps Gordon) have been a part of the narrative ever since it was revealed that they were The Creators. Some folks reported seeing them talk to the OSDM members showing their time in Ascension, and there was also a Tension periscope that suggested that an interview they gave was actually…[Read more]

re: @bcbishop and @stendahl bringing up that Noah’s site was actually brought to our attention via spam: I had the same thoughts, and with Darren’s uneasiness over the two calls Bryan received I’m starting to think that the Lust Experience we think we’re getting isn’t the Lust Experience that we were intended to get. However, how were we led to…[Read more]

Oh man, sounds like things are developing. Maybe someone could give a summary of tonight’s events? But also! How’s the book? Is it everything you hoped it would be and more?

Please keep us updated on all the juicy details!

@bcbishop Great news! Thanks for letting us know!

Dang it you guys, I want to watch this now but I’m at work…!

In regards to immersion (and also slightly touching on the “how far is too far” question), on one of the episodes on their My Haunt Life podcast, @mike and @russell address this: when an actress’s real name was revealed within the context of the game as part of the story, some folks decided to seek her out IRL, and/or tried to find out more about…[Read more]

That anagram… Intentional or not? We may never know… (Get it? Tension? I’ll see myself out.)

I’ve been thinking about this since I posted my original hypothesis – like @chloe, I don’t really know what it is I lust after, although I have some ideas as to what the answer isn’t. It’s not power (got a “no” from Noah), it’s not sex/physical relationships, and it’s not things like money or fame. I have a feeling that the things I yearn for the…[Read more]

My hypothesis is that the OSDM, if indeed they are behind Noah and are using him to continue their data-gathering shenanigans, is trying to identify what we each lust after the most. Those who jump at what Noah has to offer lust after some sort of power. It could be that Sarah is there to catch the ones who lust after something else. Or, if we…[Read more]

@dreamstory I doubt it’s because of your location. I’m all the way in freakin’ Japan and I got an email reply. There are people in the UK who have too. If it’s been a few weeks since you sent the initial email, you could try following up with Sinclair and see if that gets you anything. Hopefully you get a reply soon!

My personality type is much more analytical/plan-ahead than impulsive/improvise, so I find it really difficult to not always think about the behind the scenes stuff. I’m fascinated with how things are put together. I love watching film BTS, reading scientific research, and constructing the aural world of music through conducting. Back when I first…[Read more]

@lasalle Another masterpiece!

Honestly, I think “or our we” might just be a typo… Unless we see similar errors in other folks’ emails I wouldn’t think too much of it.

I wouldn’t consider myself a Tension alumni, and I don’t think they have much data on me, but here’s what I wrote: “This sounds promising! Can you give me some more information about what it is that you do and how your business model works?”

I got the “unfortunate for you…” reply with this at the beginning: “We do not answer questions, or our…[Read more]

Indeed, it is possible to be drunk on more than just wine. Power is very intoxicating in its own right. For all the winners, engage Noah if you will, but drink responsibly!
